Remove lower radiator mounts & replace with Duffs. I also re-used the stock rubber isolators vs the new poly ones â€“ itâ€™s up to you.

Remove Howe radiator from box. Cut box up to make two cardboard cut outs that will completely cover the radiator fins â€“ one in front one in back. Zip tie the cardboard pieces to the radiator. This will protect the fins (front & back) from the numerous times you lift radiator in & out of bronco for test fitting.

Place some foam tape on the drivers side of the radiator where the steering box is & carefully set Howe radiator in place. Mark area on passenger inner fender and grill core support that needs to be cut/trimmed to make clearance for lower radiator hose.

Pull radiator out. Cut out passenger inner fender and grill support as marked. Trial fit radiator until you are satisfied with the clearance.

Take flat steel and set where battery tray went. Mark holes & drill out same. Bolt flat steel to body using the stock battery tray fastners.

Use galvanized pipe nipples as spacers and turn battery tray 90 degrees. Battery tray must be trimmed +/- 3â€ off one end. Drill holes in metal flat strap for bolts that will run through the battery tray, through the nipples & finally through the metal strap. Mock everything up & check for clearance with hood. The galvanized nipples may need to be trimmed. I also found a Dry Cell battery (Optima) is smaller & fit better. Solenoid may need to be moved, although I kept mine in the stock location.

Take cardboard protectors off of radiator. Place some foam tape on the lower radiator mounts & set radiator in place. Put upper radiator mounts on & tighten down â€“ use foam tape as needed to make fit tighter.
